Summary

Danish King Frederik has redesigned the royal coat of arms to prominently feature symbols of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, replacing the historical three crowns, in an apparent rebuke to Donald Trump’s renewed interest in buying Greenland.

The change underscores Denmark’s commitment to maintaining its territorial integrity.

Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte Egede firmly rejected Trump’s suggestion, declaring, “Greenland is ours.”

This marks the fourth revision of Denmark’s coat of arms since 1819 and highlights Greenland’s century-long political and cultural ties to Denmark despite U.S. military presence on the island.

    That’s far too subtle to even register on Trump’s feeble brain cell.

      I think this is for the Greenlanders. It’s to make them feel acknowledged by the Danish and their monarch as an integral and equal part of their country.

      Trump thinks a coat of arms is a jacket made of weapons that he can buy

      Bruh a literal full coat of arms change wouldn’t register to him. He’s dumb as fuck.
